first of all I would never ever buy anything at walmart and even less electronic stuff.
But if someone has a gun to your head and you need to buy one I would suggest the second one. It seems like it has a more "modern" graphic card.
for 850$ you could built your own gaming PC with much better specs. Why give money to the builder and walmart? Better spend it on better specs.

I would definitely go with the first one. It has a waaaay better CPU. The GPU in the second is basically one step better than the first. But seeing as GPU's are the most common and frequent upgrade you will make on a gaming computer...definitely go with the better CPU. The performance of the 7850 is basically equivalent to the 270. So the 270x is just one step better. And you could just overclock the 270 to the 270x's performance.

Is overclocking an option that he would really use a lot? I doubt that as GPU OCing is more important in gaming.

I would try and save my money and buy the better computer and wait a few months longer. I mean the financing is really nice. But if you just buy a few parts at a time until you get a full build, you will get a much nicer computer.
But if you have to get one or the other of the two you originally posted. You should find out what motherboards and power supplies each rig has.

Best solution

Sorry its 16gb ram but when I read the reviews on the product it said it comes with a GTX 650 not 760Ok, since it has a 650 not the 760, I would still go with option one. The 7850 is by no means a bad GPU. It scores 3,729 from passmark. The 270x scores 4,506. So the 270x is definitely better, but not like twice as good or anything. And you could overclock the 7850 to get close to the 270x stock performance.
I just would not want to have an A10 CPU. The A10 is very very close in performance to the 8320 in single threaded performance. But in multi-threaded, the 8320 blows the A10 away. In cinebench 11.5, the A10 7850K scores around 3.0, where the 8320 scores around 6.0...both at stock speeds. Now that doesn't seem like much of a difference because it's only 3 points more, but its alot. Obviously its double, but the noticeable performance difference between a 3.0 CPU and a 6.0 CPU would be a lot. But that's just my opinion. Maybe I value CPU performance a little more than I should. Maybe I just like having a higher end CPU. But that is my reasoning on why I would go with build one.
Now I should also mention that the i7 4770 is a fair amount better than the 8320. But I feel like the 8320 can handle any game, so its not necessarily needed...unless you were to do video rendering and what not. Now if that third build came with the GTX 760, I would definitely say go with it. But the 650 only scores 1,837 from passmark. So it is well behind the 7850, and 270x.
I hope this help make your decision easier. Good luck.
Here is a good website to compare GPU performances.
